Carla tries to remind them that he keeps skipping over Elliot, who is nearly in tears, but it turns out that he had already mentioned her. He just referred to her as "Mole-butt," which was a nickname referring to a mole [[Continuity Nod|that had actually been mentioned both before and after that episode]].
* ''[[Frasier]]'': An old friend of Frasier's (from his ''[[Cheers]]'' days, although we never saw this friend in Cheers itself...) has written a book based on Frasier's first love. The credits mention everyone from the author's kindergarten teacher to the man who designed the [[Useful Notes/Fonts|typeface]], but not Frasier.

* In one episode of ''[[Sushi Pack]]'', the eponymous Pack think that the announced statue of "Wharf City's Greatest Hero" will be one of them, but they find that it's actually Kato Platypus, who was a hero years before.

* On ''[[The Simpsons]]'', the union contract stipulates that every worker must win the Worker of the Week award at least once; Homer figures he's a shoo-in this week since everyone else already got the award. The award goes to...an inanimate carbon rod. This spurs Homer to [[Halfway Plot Switch|become an astronaut]]; when he's in space, Homer causes a chain of problems, which he eventually solves with... [[Chekhov's Gun|an inanimate carbon rod]]. The rod then gets its photo on the cover of ''Time'' magazine and its own ticker tape parade.
* A plot point in Eight Crazy Nights.
